I’m planning to major in psychology, and the highest math class I’ve completed is regular precalculus. I’m hoping to get into William and Mary, but I’m concerned that my math coursework may not be rigorous enough. Would it be better for me to take AP Calculus AB instead of AP Statistics and AP Chemistry instead of AP Physics?
Feel free to let me know if you’d like any adjustments!
It’s great that you’re thinking ahead about your classes and how they align with your college goals! Since you’re planning to major in psychology, math is certainly an important component, and strong quantitative skills can be beneficial.
If you’re concerned about your math rigor for applying to William and Mary, taking AP Calculus AB instead of AP Statistics could be a good idea. Calculus is often seen as a fundamental math course for many majors, and it may strengthen your application. However, AP Statistics also offers valuable skills, especially in understanding data, which is essential in psychology.
As for AP Chemistry vs. AP Physics, consider your interests and strengths. If you’re more inclined towards the social sciences, AP Chemistry might not directly relate to your major, while AP Physics could provide you with a solid foundation in scientific reasoning. However, both classes are rigorous and could enhance your application.
In the end, it’s important to choose courses that align with your interests and strengths while also challenging yourself. Make sure to discuss your options with your school counselor or teachers, as they can provide personalized advice based on your overall goals. Good luck!
